a) did you clear all the previous orders or are these prices assuming the previous order volume?

b) are you going to wait until orders for all styles are in before collecting money and paying SP? or is this truly just a gb for the retro style?

c) end date?

It is all the same. I offer the more popular stuff here and the rest you must read the wiki and pricelist.

I will try to make the pricelist more readable.

RETRO/STANDARD125 is available.

7BIT: You have removed kits like ROUND3/TKL from the pricelist and replaced it with ROUND3/TKLUS ROUND3/TKLFR etc...

I still have ROUND3/TKL in my order, I assume that it is US by default?

my head is spinning. i don't think the complexity being spread across 4 threads is a huge improvement to it being confined to one thread. the structure of the buy has to change or else it will crash and burn again.

Nothing got cleared!

Again, it is the same thing in a different package.

Becasue prcies go separate for different colors, there is no need to wait for other styels to close up. But I will try to order all of them (SPH, RETRO, ROUND3 and NOIR) at once.

Yes. It is the same as STANDARD but in RGBY colors.
You can also have RETRO/STDRGBYSYM to get the colored keys (and some more) with symbols.

I will post more layout graphics.

I still have some differently colored space bars in the price list:
RETRO/SPACE/GREY
RETRO/SPACE/RED
RETRO/SPACE/BLUE

Same for SPACEOLD

GREY is in the same color as the modifiers and red and blue will be the same as the text on RGB keys.

This is the order-thread for RETRO style.

No reason to let your head spin.

It is not separated. But I don't want to wait for too long to close this.

Just submit your order to 7bit_R4. I will take care of the other prices (especially language kits) over the week-end.

The next thread I will set up is for sphericals.

I do like the SYM kits, but RETRO's colors are still a turn off for me.  What "retro" keyboard are these trying to emulate?  I guess I'll wait to see how NOIR prices look, when the time comes.  C'mon ROUND3/SPH...

Originally, they wanted to do WYSE colors but something happened and retro was born.

Either SP messed up the colors or there was miscommunication between sp and OTD (I believe it was OTD)

I will have to change the graphic for TKLRGBY to show a red Caps and return.

The reason is quite simple:
Caps Lock can be used as Control (there is somewhere a Control for the caps position available) and Return must be red for symmetry!
